You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 454 Thank You For Giving Me A Home

Pausing for five seconds, he added, “It seems like we haven’t been eating any vegetable. We’ll probably get constipation soon.”

“We have Matsutake mushroom and chestnuts, don’t we? Remember to get some wild greens from the jungle tomorrow for the dumplings.” Bai Rong glanced at the mushroom, which she had washed earlier.

The man nodded. “Cook the braised pork then.” He continued peeling the chestnuts. Why is he so cute?

She started a fire and put the pork in a pot of water, boiled it to remove the impurities. The fire was burning well, so the only thing she needed to do was to add firewood to it from time to time.

After putting the lid on the pot, she peeled the inner skin off the chestnuts that she boiled earlier, leaving the yellow flesh. “Aren’t you supposed to be cooking braised pork?” Gu Mingchen’s voice sounded.

Bai Rong broke into a fit of giggle, knowing that he was trying to stop her from peeling the chestnuts. She turned around to glance at him. “Okay, okay. Don’t worry, I can still handle this. Have you forgotten that I used to be a surgeon when we first met?”

Gu Mingchen fell silent, but his hands peeled the prickly shells even quicker, mumbling to himself, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have picked so many of them.”

Once again, Bai Rong laughed in amusement. With her head lowered, she peeled the skin of the chestnuts while saying, “We’re going to pick more tomorrow. This is seasonal, so it’ll be gone after this season. We need to store more food, as there’ll be less food available during winter, right?”

Glancing at her back, he hummed gently in response.

If possible, I would love to spend the winter here with her. I can work and have video conferences as long as there’s an Internet connection. I just need to go back for inspections occasionally. But what if she gets pregnant or falls sick?

Taking a deep breath, the man brushed those thoughts aside. Instead of worrying about the future, I should just cherish the time that I have with her now.

When Gu Mingchen was done, he took the knife from Bai Rong. “Let me slice the skin open. You only need to peel it off then.”

The woman didn’t resist him and did exactly as he said.
